Contribution of Methyl Substituent on the Conductivity Properties and Behaviour of CMC-Alkoxy Thiourea Polymer Electrolyte
An essentially linear conjugated thiourea system provides wide range of electronic properties as they consist of rigid pi-systems on their structures. This study reported the synthetic, characterization and theoretical evaluation of molecular wire candidate bearing alkoxy thiourea derivative featuring methylbenzene head group. It was applied as dopant in Carboxymethyl-Cellulose (CMC) solution in order to form a conductive biodegradable thin film. According to the conductivity result, the developed system can be developed as electrical conductor as proven via both experimental and theoretical studies. Therefore, this type of A-ArC(O)NHC(S)NHAr-D molecular framework has opened wide possibilities to be applied in many micro-electronic application devices.
